Tegan and Sara return January 29 with new album Heartthrob, and as the duo’s Sara Quin told W Magazine earlier this month: “Our last two records felt like something you listen to on headphones alone in your room, and I wanted to make a record that felt like you could really listen to it at a party.”

Like, maybe a living-room party.

One with karaoke and blanket forts and makeovers and make-out sessions and pillow fights and trampolines and swing-sets. (And somehow, Taylor Swift‘s invite was mysteriously lost in the mail.)

That’s the scene in Tegan and Sara’s just-released video for Heartthrob track “Closer.” (The clip leaked Wednesday, only to get its legit premiere by the day’s end.)

Directed by Isaac Rentz, the Quin sisters get things started by cuing up their Greg Kurstin-produced (Sia, Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen) single on their VHS karaoke machine — your first hint that this clip is paying tribute to a sorta-kinda bygone era: the ’90s.

“We thrived during that decade, soaking up the music and subsequent culture and aesthetic that accompanied it. Our friends were our world and we lived for the weekend when we would congregate in living rooms, basements and, sometimes, random abandoned fields where we would dance and laugh and partake in the standard teenage behaviors one associates with people who congregate in fields. It was a special time that we look back on with irrational sentimental fondness,” she wrote.

“The hope with this video was to capture some of the youthful naïveté present during those years, before death and taxes and weird arthritic aches in joints (I am getting so old).”

She and Tegan are 32, by the way.

“The treatment was inspired by our childhood friends, the still remarkable television show My So-Called Life and, most importantly, our love of karaoke. Truth be told, we needed a way to interact with the kids in this video that didn’t make us seem like we were channeling Wooderson from Dazed and Confused. Google it.”
